This study approaches Margery Kempe’s roles in her earthly, heavenly and spiritual families. It details the tension between her domestic and spiritual life and the agony and pleasure imposed on her by the divine. Close extensive research is devoted to late medieval female mysticism and the complex authorship and genre of The Book of Margery Kempe.
